Forbes Councils bring together leaders shaping technology’s future: innovators, builders, thinkers, and doers; and I’m truly honored to be among them.

To me, this isn’t just a recognition; it’s an invitation:

• 💡 to share ideas that move our industry forward
• 🤝 to collaborate with peers who care deeply about technology’s impact
• 🌍 and to continue amplifying the human side of innovation: openness, empathy, and purpose.

From hackathons to high-performance computing, from open source readiness to quantum discussions – every step in this journey has been about learning, sharing, and building together.

I’m excited to contribute thought-leadership pieces, engage with this incredible community, and bring the conversations I’ve been having in the FINOS, Microsoft, and open tech ecosystems to a global stage through Forbes.

Here’s to the next chapter of building bridges, not silos, in technology. 🚀
